There is no given size for an F5 tornado as tornado ratings are based on damage severity, not size.
A tornado is rated F5 if well-built houses are blown clean off their foundations.
F5 tornadoes have come in various sizes, ranging from as small as 100 yards to over 2 miles wide.
That being said, F5 tornadoes are usually very large, averaging about half a mile wide.
